Problems solved by technology

However, P protein-deficient vectors have problems of low expression of carried genes and short-term expression (high expression capability of SeV vectors is impaired), and conventional temperature-sensitive mutant vectors have a problem in that it takes time t

Example

Example 11

[0169]HeLa cells were seeded into 12-well plates at 1×105 cells / well and pEB-P was gene-transferred to the cells using Lipofectamine LTX (Life Technologies), SeV18+GFP / TSΔP (WO 2008 / 133206) was infected at MOI=10 at 37° C. (day 0), and then observation with a fluorescence microscope was carried out on day 1. As the fluorescence microscope, ECLIPSE TE2000-U (Nikon Corporation) was used. As a result, in the cells to which pEB-P was gene-transferred, green fluorescence was observed by infection of SeV18+GFP / TSΔP; however, in the cells into which pEB-P was not gene-transferred and which were infected only with SeV18+GFP / TSΔP, green fluorescence was not observed (FIG. 1).

Example

Example 2

[0170]HeLa cells were seeded into 12-well plates at 1×105 cells / well. SeV(F)ddAG / TSΔF (ddAG) was infected at MOI=10 at 37° C. (day 0), 1 μM of Shield1 was added thereto on day 1, and after 5 hr. observation with a fluorescence microscope and analysis by FACS were carried out. FACScalibur (BD Biosciences) was used as FACS. As a result, green fluorescence was observed in ddAG infected cells added with Shield and strong fluorescence of ddAG+Shield1 was observed with FACS. It was difficult to determine fluorescence of ddAG not added with Shield1 under the microscope, but in FACS, fluorescence at the base level that is clearly discerned from control cells which were not infected with ddAG was observed (FIG. 2).

Example

Example 3

[0171]HeLa cells were infected with SeV(HNL)ddAG / TSΔF (ddAG) at MOI=10 at 37° C. (day 0), 1 μM of Shield1 was added thereto on day 1, and after 5 hr, observation with a fluorescence microscope and analysis by FACS were carried out. As a result, green fluorescence was observed in ddAG infected cells added with Shield1 and strong fluorescence of ddAG+Shield1 was observed with FACS. Fluorescence of ddAG not added with Shield was decreased by carrying the gene at HNL position as compared to SeV(F)ddAG / TSΔF on which the gene was carried at F position, but with FACS, fluorescence at the base level that is clearly discerned from control cells which were not infected with ddAG was observed (FIG. 3).

Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of providing an improved negative-strand RNA viral vector enabling transient high expression of a gene carried by the vector, and quick removal of the vector after the expression, and the use thereof. It was found that if a degron is added to a P-protein possessed by a negative-strand RNA viral vector, high-level expression of a gene carried by the vector is transiently induced after introduction of the vector, and thereafter, the vector can be quickly removed in a manner dependent on the degron. In particular, if the degron is added to a temperature-sensitive P-protein, the vector can be removed to a level below the detection limit within two weeks after cells are infected with the vector. Since the present invention is useful for transiently expressing a transcription factor, such as a reprogramming factor or the like, in target cells, and then quickly removing the vector, the present invention is expected to be applied in cell therapy and regenerative medicine.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to an improved negative-strand RNA virus vector. More specifically, the present invention relates to a negative-strand RNA virus vector including the P protein added with a degron and a use thereof.BACKGROUND ART[0002]Negative-strand RNA virus vectors such as Sendai virus (SeV) vectors are cytoplasm-type RNA virus vectors (vectors whose all expression stages are carried out in the cytoplasm), and thus, even when such negative-strand RNA virus vectors are used in vivo, there is no concern in that carried genes are integrated into host chromosomes to generate genetic toxicity. Furthermore, the negative-strand RNA virus vectors have various excellent capabilities, for example, high gene transfer efficiency and high expression efficiency can be obtained in both in vitro and in vivo and long-term persistent expression in vitro can be achieved. For these reasons, SeV vectors are widely applied and used as gene transfer vectors in producti...
